Another “oh yum” place on Darby Street. Can’t move back here, I will become a Sumo.

Mmm…

Impressed.

Quite like the lamps..

Rose of some sort. Didn’t catch it.

One of many lunches out over this Chrissy/New Year was with my family at a new cafe on Darby Street, simply called The Kitchen.

I started with a soy latte (they recently had to switch off the Bonsoy) while waiting, cos it takes a little longer for my sister to get going now there’s also a [...]

I can’t believe I was only 7 years old, hanging out at the Newcastle Blood Bank on Watt Street Newcastle. There were police in there at the time, waiting their turn to donate blood when the earthquake struck. People thought it was a bomb, or a gas explosion, or something over a BHP. A nurse [...]

Rish’s father sent me these flowers yesterday… why?
Well, we were helping them move a bunch of furniture from their current house to their newly built house… Rish had the trailer behind our car, I was in the ute with his Dad just behind…
About, say, 5 km down the road, on the third roundabout (for Newcastle [...]

For some reason, Rish’s mum didn’t quite get that when we said we were plaing pool in the rain on grand final night… we were actually playing pool in the rain.

The Albion Hotel at Wickham has an all-weather pool table. Plus a yummy menu. (Yes, I went to school with the chef ;) Doesn’t change [...]

Friday night last week, a few friends and I headed into Honeysuckle (Newcastle) for the “Livesites” thing the council were putting on. This basically involved fire, music, belly dancers and us finding a place to eat!

This was a chance for me to gloat about not freezing because I’ve got cold Canberra blood now, and to [...]

While I was in Newcastle, I went to The Depot, a new cafe on Darby St, twice for lunch. Mostly because I hadn’t been there yet, and the first time because I was by myself on Saturday and it looked like I could tuck away at a table with a magazine and eat without being [...]

I’m up in Newcastle for the next few days, seeing friends and family… Tonight I’m out at Honeysuckle … Because the council has funded a ‘livesite’ with a band and lots of fires, presumably to serve the dual purposes of looking awesome and keeping people warm.
Photos will of course follow on my return to Canberra. [...]

One of those nights where you get home and suddenly it’s “change of plans”… ugh.
Anyway. It’s a good excuse to have a relaxing night, get my book finished (I’m reading “The hour I first believed” by Wally Lamb), and drink a heap of peppermint tea. I love peppermint tea :) Best herbal tea EVER!
:p
Full on [...]

Kelly is going to throw something at the computer when she reads that I’m sick with Tonsillitis *ducks* … yeah.. again. This time it definately has the white spots that are tonsillitis, and I have a swollen left gland that you can see in the mirror… Onto yellow and white pills, not pink like last [...]
